Generator Types Explained
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Generators
Automatic Voltage Regulation is an advanced technology, capable of stabilising fluctuations in incoming voltage. These
fluctuations can come in the form of excessive voltage or a drop in voltage which can effect the performance of the device
you are powering and in some instances can even cause damage.
Inverter Generators
Inverters are ideal for powering sensitive electronics such as computers as they deliver the cleanest power of all generator
types. They are also known for generating less noise, delivering lighter weight and superior fuel efficiency. Inverter
generators, like normal generators produce AC power from their alternator but
then a rectifier is used to convert AC power to DC power and capacitors are
used to smooth out supply. Finally the power is inverted back to clean AC power
at a precise voltage and frequency, independent to engine speed.
What is THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)?
Total Harmonic Distortion is a measurable value that relates to the
quality of electricity being supplied by a generator. Clean electricity
is rated as having a THD of 5% or less, making it suitable for
sensitive electronics as well as ensuring maximum performance
from your power tools.
